I'm trying to send myself a message, via mixmaster (PGP encryption turned
on), through a few remailers.
The problem is that even though the remailer seems to use my
publicly-available key, I can't decode the encrypted message.
Specifically, "gpg --dump-packet --verb" says this on the secret message:
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 16, keyid F3E85400D70AAFF9
data: [1020 bits]
data: [1023 bits]
gpg: public key is D70AAFF9
:encrypted data packet:
length: 83
gpg: encrypted with ELG-E key, ID D70AAFF9
gpg: no secret key for decryption available
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
... while my secret key ring has these:
secring.gpg

sec 1024D/D70AAFF9 1998-11-20 Matthias Urlichs <smurf@noris.de>
sig D70AAFF9 1998-11-20 Matthias Urlichs <smurf@noris.de>
ssb 1504g/CAA29391 1998-11-20
sig D70AAFF9 1998-11-20 Matthias Urlichs <smurf@noris.de>
Apparently, the remailer uses the key ID of the main signature in the
pubkey enc packet instead of the key ID of the subkey that it actually
used.
Is that analysis correct? Is there anything I can do to decode these
messages?
Cc to me please; I don't know yet if my subscription to gpg-users
succeeded.

Don't plan any hasty moves.
You'll be evicted soon anyway.
